PVT question

I took the nclex on 6/2 and still haven't receive my result, so I gave in and tried the pvt. I got the "good" pop up after trying to reregister (yes, I hit submit after inputting my cc info). Is this a good indication I passed? Thank you

The PVT does work and I will tell you why. Some people do feel that they get a false "good pop-up," however you have to look deeper into the situation to figure out what's going on. I have seen many consistencies with the PVT. Those who have said that they received the good pop up right after their test and later found out they failed either ran out of time or had all 265 questions. In these cases you have to wait 24 hours for the exam to be scored a second time. You always have to consider the accuracy of the statement that someone is presenting. For instance, Pearson changed their system to where everyone gets taken to the CC page. Many people still to this day do not realize this, which they think they failed. Others think they have the good pop-up but in reality it said that their results were on hold, which is not the good pop-up. I had a friend call me in a complete mental breakdown because she said the PVT didn't work and she failed. I asked her some questions about what she did. A short time later her anxiety was relieved as I brought it to her attention that everyone goes to the CC page now.

Someone just posted about getting the bad pop up & the person passed. So no, the PVT doesn't always work. People are charged $200, the get the bad pop up. If people could wait 2 days (if their state participates) to get the official quick results, we would have a lot less people freaking out.

Here is the link to that thread (Bad Pop Up & Passed).

Putting the wrong expiration date doesn't always work.

Sooo that means the PVT doesn't always work.

That means they didn't do it correctly. This person didn't even say what the message actually said.

Did Carson make another account? I'm not going to argue with another person about the validity of the PVT. You just said the PVT doesn't always work if you enter an expired card, which is true. The PVT doesn't always work, PERIOD. It is nothing but a trick, a glorified magic 8 ball.

There are many posts on here about how people did the trick & got the bad pop up & passed, got the good pop up & failed & how others got charged.

You are pretty argumentative. I'm done with this conversation. Good luck.

In considering the accuracy of the information you are presenting, it's worth mentioning this inaccuracy. EVERYONE'S exam undergoes what you can call a "second scoring"; EVERY exam has a QA review at some point during the 24 hours following the exam. Not just those who ran out of time, not just those who got all the questions.

The reason people are told to wait 24 hours before doing the PVT (if it's their bound will and desire) is to allow time for the QA review to be complete. It seems to be the biggest margin of error is for those who do the PVT immediately (or an hour, or two, or...whatever) post NCLEX and get one pop up, but then a different one when they do it again after the 24 hour mark. Some people post about doing it over and over and over and over again, and then are surprised to find a different result at some point later on.

This happens regardless of the number of questions one receives. The ONLY thing that I have yet to see is someone who stops at the minimum number of questions (75 for RN, 85 for PN) and have THAT pop up be good initially and bad later, or vice versa. For those people, it seems pretty safe to say that whatever it is at the closing of the test it is likely to stay (IOW, haven't yet found someone who the CAT deemed competent in only 75 questions later be reviewed to be INcompetent--and vice versa). That much is anecdotal, true, but it's what I've noticed over time.

Many people insist on tackling the PVT without really knowing what it IS they are doing, LOL, so it's not uncommon to have to peel someone off the walls because they did it wrong and are freaking out as a result.

Can only go so far to help people not drive themselves insane, the rest is up to them.
